Viviparus viviparus (Linnaeus, 1758) ( fig. 3 , 1 )

Distribution. In Ukraine V. viviparus is registered in all natural regions ( Anistratenko, Anistratenko, 2001) including the Transcarpathian Region ( Zdun, 1960; Stadnichenko, Gyrin, 2011 b; Anistratenko et al., 2018). In the Transcarpathia the species is recently recorded in three localities 8, 12 and 15 ( fig. 1 , table 1 ).

Remarks. In the Transcarpathia V. viviparus occurs rarely at shallow zone in small rivers and in the floodplain reservoirs associating with macrophytes.
